Agreed, most of the Danish newspapers seem to be wondering why Sweden is making quite such a fuss about it.
Perhaps because it's part of a pattern that's been going on for a few weeks..

BBC News - Russia Baltic military actions 'unprecedented' - Poland

[B]Russia Baltic military actions 'unprecedented' - Poland[B]

Poland says the level of Russian naval and air force activity in the Baltic Sea region has been "unprecedented" this week.

Defence Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said most of the activity was in international waters and airspace and Sweden was the country most affected.

The spike in activity follows a study by the London-based think tank European Leadership Network, which detailed 40 incidents over recent months, including 11 that it said were of a "more aggressive or unusually provocative nature, bringing a higher level risk of escalation".
